Welcome to the Ballymaloe Cookery School

Welcome to the only cookery school in the world located in the middle of its own 100-acre organic farm...­

­When you step through the little wooden side gate and into the courtyard of Ballymaloe Cookery School you enter a different world. A world where the loudest sounds are the sounds of the countryside and maybe, if the windows are open, the quiet chatter and gentle clatter of people at work in a kitchen.
